What minor changes would you like Square Enix to consider?

I’m not talking about big changes - mostly little things like, for example, more Titles related to questing or achievements,class ability changes, or items you’d love to be able to craft. Things that would be easy to implement with the foundation already there to go off of.

Mine would be:

• Cosmetic Moogle Pom Pom for players - just the colored ball and perhaps matching wings.
• Title related to collecting all of a Primal’s Weapons
• Small gardening pots for apartments
• A delivery moogle outside of the apartment complexes; we have market boards and a retainer bell, but no community mailbox.
• Titles or achievements related to finishing every side quest in each area. These take a lot of time and are offen not touched in worlds that have the Path to 60 bonus.
• More joking achievements or titles. Perhaps like “Moogle Addicted” if you did Thornmarch many times for the weapons or something related to be under the influence of a Primal. My friends joked about a developer or mod just watching me do Thornmarch 500 times in a row and the insanity that came during it.
• Scholar: Being able to glamour our pets to carbuncle. Why did Summoners get summon glamours but we didn’t?

These are just minor suggestions that would increase the enjoyment of the game for me. I don’t think these would be hard to implement. If anything, a girl can dream, can’t she?

T-shirts! Just good 'ol plain Jane t-shirts. And it wouldn't be hard to implement either. Just make a . . . . . t-shirt:

Just like this one, no frills or extras, just a good 'ol fashioned . . . . . t-shirt! Preferably dyeable too (forgot to mention that).

Isn’t there a survivors shirt at level 1 that looks like that? You can glamour to it. https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes...m/2df25286d79/

A return of the undergarment slots from 1.0 (sometimes I want stockings and some gear doesn't allow it)
A glamour slot for glasses, maybe overriding the earrings
Some more emotes/racial specific variants
more idle/seated/sleeping poses for all

Unless you are thinking of something entirely different, apartments can already have those gardening pots.

There are planters for apartments., there is a delivery Moogle within the apartment building lobby. And as far as the SCH glamour goes, Carbuncle is a Summoner staple, doesn't make much sense for it to be a SCH pet.

I wouldn't mind more joke achievements though.

i wouldn't mind the garden plots like a community garden area, or better yet, add an indoor growbed.

pots are nice but don't allow cross breeding.

A reverse option for hair. While not minor, would effectively double the hair selection customization.

A new title "Thank You Friend! I, II, III". Obtain a point for every player bonus clear in lvl 70 savage content (50, 100, 300 respectively).

Reward: 100 bonus player clears - "Joyous Co-operator..." title
Reward: 300 bonus player clears - Bahamut's Favor mount- Channel the elder primal's aether and grow wings and take to the skies. Divebomb animation included. It literally just a pair of wings on your back. The mount might be over kill but there needs to be a title like this in-game to help give incentive for raiders to help pugs.

Also I'm currently on Exdeath clear to neo prog and if anyone wants to help or inv to a raid ls that would be neat. shameless plug sry

The option to trade in PvP gear for GC seals.

Yeah, here are a few changes I'd love to see either SE or Team Yoshi to consider:

• You know those pegs that stick out of the hostelry in Kugane,and also the mini-tower in Shirogane? I'd like those around the Shiro Castle Walls, or even a variation of them, so that we can climb to the roof.
• More job bardings. I would love, for instance, to put a Barding Barding on the bardy bird that accompanies my Bard all of the birding place.
• A toggle for those mount speeds we got in SB. Sure, they're great to have, but some places are better or more easily enjoyed when we can choose our pace at which to move. Some sightseeing vistas in ARR zones come to mind, though I have them all, for how easy or hard they are now thanks to the high mount speeds; but I have not fully tested this myself. (On the other hand, there's one spot I cannot get to any more since I go too fast on mount, but too slow if I sprint for it)
• To SE in particular: Give Yoshi more resources and more people so that he can better meet the demands of both the fans and himself alike.
• The ability to add alt characters to a list of mail recipients, so that none of us have to rely on friends or FC chests to move items between our own characters on the same server.
• More achievements for completing quests in various areas. Someone mentioned something to this effect already and I agree. I'm not asking for anything quite like Loremaster chievos in Warcraft, but certainly a little incentive or pat on the back for cleaning those many, many quests off of our maps even after we've out-leveled them by a large margin.
• Just a simple means to climb out of the swimmable water in Lavender Beds right next to plots 15 or 45. From the corner of my plot I can easily hop into the water, but I have to go a ways to climb out again right now, with the shortest being a land bridge that seems like a short distance at first glance until you see how far out of the way you'd have to go to return to the same plot. It can be a rock, it can be a foothold at the bottom of that stream; just a little something to climb out to make it more convenient please.
• Cooking recipes for pizza and waffles. mmm waffles...
• Adjust the drop rates for the minions in Weeping City and Dun Scaithe, please. Not just for me, as I need the adorable Scathach minion, but for everyone who still needs or wants either one of them. Now's the best time while people still run the Alliance Raid roulette for exp, because chances are that improving those rates when the popularity of the roulette comes down--at this point I'm only guessing that will happen in a couple months from now, but I can offer no reliable proof--won't do much good to liven up those raids again.
• On a humorous note, prank everyone by putting an echo in the ARR dungeons for anywhere between a day or three, just to see how people would react to it, all for the sake of a fun, somewhat prankster-driven experiment. I know I'd laugh. Or heck, make it part of an event.
• Speaking of events, can we get more in the residential zones please? My first Starlight was the one with those trees in everyone's yard, and I kind of enjoyed the idea, even though I'm not sure if many people socialized with their neighbors as a result. Actually I have an idea in mind, despite the fact that the person(s) working on the seasonal stuff is probably done with this year's Starlight already: turn our residential wards into a pvp zone for snowball fights, and have some sort of in-ward FATE-like event for building or combating a snowman (with said snowball fighting). How amazing would this be? Heck, make a separate pvp instance (or I guess four) based on the residential zones, where we get to do these things.
• Please more fully-interactive whodunnit/mystery type of quest lines.

More outfits for male avatars, more cute outfits for Lalafell (both genders).

Please look forward to it, it will be a 4 star craft with all mats that are ridiculously hard to come by.

Ohhhh, that used to be an actual thing? I've been wanting it since I started playing a few months ago. Too many otherwise-nice costumes with awkwardly short skirts. I'd also appreciate being able to add a tank top under things like the "Shirt" costume pieces instead of the default bra-under-open-shirt.

Possibly it could be done by using glamours on the 'belt' item slot? I've also thought that could be used for other things, like adding wings or a visible sash to costumes.

There was such a thing in 1.0? O_O I'd love that! I used to have a lot of fun combining the different inners in Mabinogi:Heroes (Vindictus).
Sadly, I can't get my hopes up. I guess many of the current gear is designed to override the default undergarment, which means they might have to modify tons of the existing gear in order to make this work for ARR, unless I'm mistaken. Somehow, doesn't sound like something that can be done or that they'd be willing to do at this point (>_<)

Here here!

I'd like to see some casual clothing, such as t-shirts, sweat pant/shirts, more pajamas, hoodies.

I'd also like to see the ability to choose the type of undies (boxers/briefs) and be able to dye them. No one is gonna see them (maybe? ;) ), but still, customization!!

This isn't a minor change, but I'd like to see something done about glamour for different jobs within the same category. For example, I have 2 level 70 casters, and about to have a third, (yay smn!) I kinda want to have separate glam for each class without having to resort to having 3 sets of gear, and doing some kinda weird musical gear/glam game every time I want to focus on a different class.

go dungeon and primals with your retainer.
Hellluuuuuu

That could be fun or it could hilariously kill your retainer.

Fix Lalafell first person view pls ;^;

Chocobo barding "try on" feature
New tab in journal for "available" quests.

Oh here's one I know won't happen:


Look through the inactive characters taking up data/space on Gilgamesh. If the character hasn't been gone for over two years AND has such a non-name as "sdafsdsds ddsfadasdfff" then it -might- belong to the RMTs that used to flood our server. Purge just those RMT characters that are almost too obvious, and then, most importantly, re-open the server.

Remove the Slow from Riddle of Fire. Allow Monk to refresh Greased Lightning by Formshifting from Coeurl to Opo-Opo form. Change Riddle of Earth into some sort of party wide mitigation effect.

Switch the Giant Shurikan Ninjutsu with Raiton. I honestly have never seen the former move used except on rare occasions compared to the latter which is used all the time. Just make Giant Shurikan into a sub weapon or replace the Throwing Knives skill with it and let Giant Shuirkan keep its extra range like that.

Very Minor:

• Allow ground-targeted abilities to be queued, even if instant-cast (to go off at GCD refresh, as per any other instant, without having to target at cost of uptime).
  
  
• Block the addition of new or transferred first characters to overpopulated realms, not the addition or transfer of characters after the first (essentially, alts). The former has little to no effect on server crowding, only the total number of character files archived therein.
  
  
• Revise the default position of the UI Cursor, especially in Accept/Cancel pop-ups.

  At entrances, FATEs, quests, hand-ins, etc., the UI cursor should default to "Yes" or "Accept", or the Hand-in space and the appropriate item and then "Hand In" or "Trade", allowing for an easy double-click of the Accept button from when outside of UI Cursor mode.
  
  This command should also be made work more reliably for Mouse & Keyboard users, rather than occasionally failing to interact with UI popups or confirmation windows.

• Rather than blocking the application of effects categorically nullified by a given effect (e.g. Mana-restoring effects via Darkside), nullify the individual ticks, allowing the effect to be banked and the player to have a viable choice of dropping the semi-punitive buff without needing perfect coordination with his or her party members.
  
  
• Add toolbar flash to FFXIV to be triggered in the event that a queue pops.

Somewhat Minor:

• Make use of a secondary signed integer with typal effect to future-proof for any eventual stacking of shields or healing-absorption barriers (absorbing x amount of incoming healing, and potentially carrying an effect if existant or above a given threshold at the end of its duration). For instance, overkill damage received during Living Dead would instead generate Fate Diverted for the same amount, absorbing incoming healing. Shielding or heal-absorbing elements should be appended to the affected player's HP indicators, indicating the remaining healing absorption (e.g. on the left) and bonus maximum HP via shields (right).
  
  
• If mass AoE remains a concern diverging community playstyles from developer intent, create a standard "cleave" formula. Ideally, this should allow for equal dispersion of damage over an enemy group affected by player splash damage, rather than diminishing the damage in chain, and any variations to the formula should be easily noticed and understood with concise text (e.g. "Cleave: 70").

  What that value actually refers to can be less obvious, such as a logarithmic scalar for damage added per enemy, where "50" would refer to a multiplier of (1/n)^.5 damage added per enemy (in effect, 100%, 85%, 72%, 62.5%, 56%, 51% damage added each time for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th,... target), and "100" being a pure, simple, n*potency damage total.

• Automatically "group" players in FATEs, allowing interaction with others in the FATE as with one's own party.

  If necessary, apply Bloom (similar to Cleave) mechanic when healing in FATEs, whereby heals are spread over n, where n is apportioned by nominal (non-crit, before the +/- 5% efficacy) HP to be restored by the AoE heal. Essentially, this causes split potency, making it more useful in smaller groups and potentially able to extend, although at much reduced effect, to more than 8 allies in large groups, without penalizing would-be overhealing but also without requiring secondary casts to divert that overhealing. This might also allow for better internal toolkit balance even within normal party content, and the same HP check can be used for Curasa-style proportionate heals in the future.

• Add a secondary boundary to FATEs, a quarter to third of its radius beyond the drawn area. FATE participants within the drawn area can attack enemies within the greater domain without triggering invulnerability.
  
  
• While in a FATE, /say messages sent within the FATEs greater domain are received by all within the FATE's greater domain.
  
  
• Adjust Provoke, Shadewalker, and Shirk effects in FATEs, and reallow Provoke use in FATEs.

In FATEs, these now convey a portion of their original effect (100% target enmity or 25% personal enmity) according to target and/or personal HP, respectively.

Provoke now conveys <target missing %HP + 25, to a maximum of 100> % of target enmity.

Shirk now conveys <target HP as % of personal HP, to a maximum of 100%> * 1/3 % of personal enmity.

Shadewalker now conveys <target HP as % of personal HP, to a maximum of 100%> *.8 % of personal enmity.

Not So Minor:

• Add Bulletins and Bulletin Boards. These are player depository messaging boards visible at any Bulletin Board, an interactive asset found in main cities and other hubs, allowing players to promote their FCs, give notice of upcoming events, etc.

  The player placing the Bulletin can choose whether or not to allow the storage of messages and/or "interests", and whether "interests", if applied, should be public or private. "Interests" refer to an automated means of reply, simply providing (their name and) the queried information to the Bulletin's creator. On Public Bulletins (those with publicly shown "interests") players can likewise choose to show their interests privately or publicly. If privately, it will still be included in the total interest count.
  
  Players may post bulletins as themselves, on the behalf of an FC (their name still shown), or on the behalf of an LS. FC and LS leaders may remove any Bulletins belonging to their FC or LS at any time.
  
  Bulletins allow for the storage of an event date, and will last until that time, to a particular maximum based on the Bulletin type.
  
  Players may tab through Bulletin types: Trade, Adventure, and Social. Each can can be further filtered to those relevant to your current job (/those matching your FC interests), those relevant to one of your jobs (/when without an FC), or all (no filter).
  
  Certain boards default to certain panes.

• You may now query your DF server periodically (e.g. once per minute) to request the number of each role present in queue.
  
  
• A new chat mode, "Instance" (/i) has been added. It communicates with all players involved in your current instance or with whom you share queues. A new tab has been added to your Duty finder, allowing you to identify players with prospective classes or MSQ progress equal to your own, whom you could group up with. This acts, essentially, like a global Bulletin system specifically for instances.
  
  
• Allow personal messages (/tell) to be sent and received while in a Duty. New options have been added to filter messages receivable within a duty, categorized separately for "Others within Duty" and "Duty-external", including "From friends" "From FC-mates" "From LS-mates" and "Through Bulletin". This therefore should not necessitate any increase to griefing or toxicity in exchange for its return of intuitive convenience.
  
  
• Have players queue for duties as a given role, rather than a particular class or job. When the queue pops, all players will join its Instance chat, and the DF server will call and display the jobs of each player queued, and changes on any player's end between applicable jobs will resend that data to be re-displayed to the other party members. Party members will click on their party marker to indicate readiness. This allows for duplicates to swap jobs before entering, and further communication before entering.
  
  
• Allow players to pause their position in queue, retaining their spot #, but temporarily allowing those behind them to pass ahead of them should their queue pop during this time.
  
  
• Retain separate queues for each player in party, though each player can still only be in one queue (though for up to 5 duties) at once, and that queue can of course be linked with any number of the remaining party members, or even a former party. Changes in party size or composition no longer reset party queues, but simply adjust newly for the change to size or composition (no adjustment being necessary, even, if the same number of each role are included).

  Joining a party no longer removes you from queues held while solo. If a duty queued for by only a single player or portion of players in the party, they are free to join the queued duty. In the meantime, they will become "ghosted", similar to any offline player. The party leader has gained additional settings by which to choose whether ghosted players are (1) automatically removed, (2) retained, but automatically kicked to make space for invites as invites are accepted, or (3) wholly retained.

• Allow players to "Request Invite to Group". Further options have been added to filter these requests, with separate settings for when creating a party via a PF and otherwise, including "Accept requests only from:" -"Those in your Linkshell" -"Those in your Free Company" -"Friends" and additionally "Those who currently meet criteria" and "Those who can meet criteria". Party Recruitment options now additionally include "Auto-Join" and "By Request".
  
  
• Add personal diagnostics and mentor rating systems to the Mentor/Pupil system, and create a unique Bulletin Board, called the Trainees' Hall, for the Novice Network (like the Instance Board, it does not require physical interaction).

  Personal diagnostics would allow the pupil to select measures of their progress and goals from among premade assets such as one's achievements, completed or yet to be, SSS performances, and so forth, in addition to ranking oneself in terms of Ambition, Progress, and Ease with accordant attributes. Of course, additional custom messages are also permissible.
  
  The goal here is actually to move the Novice Network from being aimed purely at true novices to anyone who wants to improve, while ensuring that the quality of mentor is one that even a skilled player could still respect. This is step 1 of 23, excused in its relative inefficacy only because it brings it in line with other surrounding positive changes.

Oh, allow chocobos in single player duties. Some of them, especially as healer, are just ridiculously difficult.

Underwear slots, hm, this makes me think of the R18+ MMORPG Scarlet Blade XD. I think this is uncharted waters for a game rated, T for teen :P.

For my QOL, allow parties to load into the same instance, or allow party members to port to the same instance as their other party members. They want us to queue up and play with each other but they do so much to force solo play...

FFXIV is T for teen, that means horny teenagers. No need to give them another avenue to perv at a female figure that is unrealistic. Plus drawing and displaying genitals in Japan is illegal and punishable by law.

Believe me, I am not arguing for or against what you're saying. =p

I'd like to see a change to the Duty Finder system that would make it easier for new players to get used to dungeons.

When signing up to join a dungeon, you also select whether you want to be "fast" or "thorough" - that is, explore all the side rooms, find treasure chests and stop to read signs and notes. Group people by preference as much as possible, and announce the 'vote' at the start of the instance.

Also remove the bonus for fast completion when a first-time player is in the party, because the *last* thing I want in an unfamiliar dungeon is for everyone else to have an extra incentive to drag me through it as fast as they can. Perhaps replace it with a bonus for every dungeon element the newbie gets to interact with, and certainly for completing the dungeon map. (Unless the newbie has voted to go 'fast', in which case the speed bonus remains.)


(Also a queue priority bonus for your first time in a dungeon would be nice. It's annoying when you're going through the story and have to come to a halt while you wait half an hour to get into the dungeon.)

Hellluuuuuu

Add more incentives to run fates. Also, add more incentives to do 50/60 roulette because the queue is painfully long for DPS right now.

A QoL change to Fish Eyes reducing it's cost would be a welcome improvement to Fishing.

Here's another suggestion I would love to see:

Make it easier to have two of the same bath in a room/apartment. Right now there's a limit that causes us to either have two separate looking baths, only one bath, or scrap bath ideas altogether. Please, Team Yoshi, let me finish the mini-bath house that is my apartment in a way where the baths match and look more appealing. <_<

Oh, and an Y'shtola portrait. None of the other character portraits interest me, but this one would be a great addition to many people's walls.

Just 2 simple ones:-
-Make the chests in the ARR 24 man Raids drop 2 pieces of loot
-Add in light gain from the ARR 24 man raids (last I checked, they didn't)

Reasons, easier farming for the loot you want and it gives another incentive to run the alliance roulette as you can guarantee light gain no matter where you end up, just like the 50/60 roulette.

I would really love the ability to trade in duty finder instances, or the ability for food buffs to be shared as a meal. The ability to trade limited items like potions and food items could really help in certain dungeons. Not gold or anything, but buff items.

The ability to lay out a table/tray of food and to repair others gear would really be nice.

Edit: Hopefully the game can still remember when players are on the same server as to allow the same convenience of trades as outside an instance, making this a simple flip of the "oh, yeah, thaaat switch", in a way that doesn't just turn into cross-server smuggling. Of course, knowing this game...

-A riding animation while your Chocobo is summoned right beside you.
-Unlimited Sprint, or at least reduced recast time while in Sanctuaries.
-Ability to check Latency (ms delay) in game.
-Save sit's change pose and other emotes with alt poses.
-Commend target macro to quick commend before players leave the party.
-Mute other crafters' sound while crafting things
-Open FC Window while in duty.
-Make reset EXP scale depending on player's level.
-Make repairing interesting, mini-game perhaps.

P.S. My first forum post. :o

-Achievements shared across account.
-Bring back 1.0 character details that were removed because PS3
-Give house access of a purchased house to all characters on the same account located on the same world
-Minions from 24 main raids to drop every run.
-Actual set items. The types that grant additional bonuses or effects for either equipping multiple pieces or the entire set.

Better battle chocobo scaling and AI.
Make chocobos more inclusive to our adventures. Would rather have this than the squadron that we got.
